Hair Extensions

Thicker longer hair immediately!

Hand Tied Hair Extensions are an amazing solution to achieving the hair you have always dreamed of! We were the first and only salon in Atlanta to bring in celebrity stylist and educator, Kacey Welch from Beverly Hills to train our entire team on her tried and true installation method!

This is a custom service and a complimentary in-person Consultation & Color Match is needed to discuss the best solution for you. At your consultation we will come up with a plan that will meet your length and thickness goals while taking into account your personal lifestyle, and the level of maintenance involved. We offer Hand Tied Hair that is installed as well as Halo Couture extensions that are a temporary simple design that is self-applied and damage-free.

After your Consultation & Color Match when you know you are ready to in move forward with your extensions we will schedule your installation and take a deposit. Depending on your desired look an installation can take one to three hours, this does not include the normal time for your hair color service.

Once the extensions are installed, we will custom cut your new hair to your new style and blend them with your natural hair or we will do a quick trim so they match your current hair length. Trimming to your length is included with the service, a custom cut is an additional service.

FAQ

What are hand tied extensions?

Hand tied extensions are very thin lightweight wefts of hair. We are able to “stack” multiple wefts of hair together to combine various hair colors to create a beautiful and believable hair color to either match or work with your current hair color.

What method do you use?

Our stylists are trained in multiple methods, Kacey Welch Method, Natural Beaded Rows (aka NBR), SKW and Hidden Bead by Meraki to name a few! We have even created our own installation method that pulls from our extensive training! We specialize in Hand Tied Hair Extensions so all of our methods involve beads and attaching thin lightweight wefts of hair onto a “track”. There is no tape or glue involved and most often we sew the hair onto the track with a special needle and nylon thread.

How long will my extensions they last?

Your actual extensions hair last between 6 to 12 months. Lighter blonde colors last an average of 6 months and darker colors can last up to 12 months. Proper care at home and using recommended retail hair products make your extension hair last longer! Your actual installation will last an average of 6 weeks before you need a move up. Keep in mind that hair grows from the scalp/root, as your hair grows your extensions move farther away from your scalp. To protect the integrity of your natural hair, we recommend guests with thinner or finer hair to come in sooner. We have guests who come in as soon as 4 weeks or up to 8 or 9 weeks.

Are hair extensions comfortable?

The first few nights you may be more aware of your new extensions as it can feel like you have been wearing a headband all day. We strive to install your extensions firmly with a solid foundation with an even distribution of weight and to not put too much tension on your scalp. We have guest tell us they forgot they were in there and how quickly they feel like “your hair”! If you are experiencing any discomfort please text the salon and we will make any needed adjustments.

How do I style my hair with hair extensions?

It is important to make sure the roots of the extensions are dried completely, this will keep you from tangles and damage to your own hair. We use high quality human hair that is ethically sourced. This hair can be blow dried, round brushed, curled and styled just like your own hair. An added bonus of hair extensions is they tend to hold a style longer than your own hair! When wearing hair extensions you treat your natural hair one way and your extension hair another way. Your own hair may need products for volume and your hair extensions will need products to keep them soft and moisturized.

Will they damage my own hair?

Our Extensionists are well trained at installing extensions and understand the importance of placement and distributing the weight of the hair evenly. We view our relationship as a partnership. When you come in for your move up we will examine your scalp to make sure there are no tension spots. If we see anything concerning we will go over it with you to make sure we are on the same page about the plan moving forward. We make a point of not reinstalling your hair in the exact place so that hair and scalp do not have too much weight and tension in one spot.

For zero risk of damage and zero maintenance we recommend Halo Couture extensions. You can choose when you wear the extra beautiful hair!

How do you sleep in hair extensions?

We recommend putting your hair in a loose low braid to protect your hair from tangling when you sleep.

Can I bring my own hair?

We only install hair that we have purchased and know and trust from the best vendors in the world!

If you currently have hair extensions and would like us to work with the current installed hair until it is time for new hair please text us to set up a consultation so we can be sure it the hair is acceptable to work with.

Can I go swimming and to the beach with hair extensions?

We recommend that you put your hair in a high ponytail (ideally 2 weeks after installation) and avoid getting your hair wet with pool or ocean water, chlorine and salt are both tough on the hair.

If you are set on getting in the water, first wet your extension hair with fresh water and apply a lot of conditioner. Then pull your hair into a low ponytail and tightly braid it, this will help keep your extensions from getting tangled while swimming and will help keep the extensions from absorbing as much chlorine or salt water.

How expensive are hair extensions?

Due to the nature of custom extensions and the desired amount of hair, the costs can vary greatly from client to client. A consultation is needed to give an exact quote for your specific needs. The average range is $700 - $2000 for your first appointment, which would include the cost of hair, installation and basic cutting to blend the extension hair to match your current natural hair length or to even out the ends of the extension hair.
